Daily Bible Verses

John 5:19 King James Version (KJV)

23. And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.

If Jesus saw the need to take time to be alone to pray, how much more do we need to spend time in prayer, to have power to resist the temptations of the devil.
